MIR, SMITH LAST NIGHT,
Again Discusses Mr.. ConnOr's
Administration

AS per announcement Mr.. Ed q.
Smith spoke at corner of Main and
Murphy streets to good crowd last
night. Because of the light audience
at the courthouse his speech of the
night before was in large part repeat
cd, and it was we'll received.
Mr.. Smith criticised Mr.. Connor's
administration, said that since his iu-
auguration the city had not built 20
feet of sidewalk Notwithstanding his
pledges TO the contrary; that the
street grading force was stopped on
account of no money while the coun-
ell contracted for $4,000 fire alarm,
which while good, the $50 year
telephone would have done about as
well till other more needed improve
ments had been made on streets over
which an engine coul'. not safely run.
Referring to the boring OF the artesi-
an well in the city park he said the
contractor or one Of them was F. o..
Brown who had leng been MIR. Con-
nor's foreman in his waterwOrks en-
terprises. He then referred 10 the
new ems inc house as " the hole OIL top
of the hill where the floor was put 3
or 4 feet below the surface" Mr..
Smith suggested, in anticipation OF
grading the street so there would be
"easier sailing for the street car mules"
Some one interrupting with the ques-
ton if the surveyor had not estab-
lished the grade on Akard street

lie said 1t was being tried to be used
against him that he was Knight of
of Labor. lie had been Z member, was
now, and didn't deny IL Sgd while he
found much to commend the prin-
ciples OF the order he had Sver oppos.
ed an abuse of it. He asked to b.
judged :or what he .wass and not tor
the acts of Chicago anarchists.
Mr.. Smith is not tho man to be
damaged by such an acdusution. His
trade is that of carpenter, his occu-
patton that Off contractor and build
ing. lie is man in the fullest meas
ure, intelligent, well-informed, com.
petent, honest and fearless, and, il

Struck With a Rock.

A negro boy, apparently without
provocation, Monday night struck
white man with rock on Elm street.
AS soon as the deed was committed he
broke and run to Main street down to
the st. George Hotel where he was
captured by policeman. In recor-
der's court this morning fine of SIS
was entered against him. A good
sound thrashing would serve to bet
ter purpose.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1887-11-30

against the desire Of Mr.. Connor, Mr..
Smith answered that possibly so,
but Mr.. Connor had, in a published
interview claimed credit for every
thing, engine house, school house,
street grading, and all. Mr.. Smith
next compared the attention the coun-
Gil gave his case in refusal TO hear his
contest, with that given one Of their
number, in which the council voted
down resolution to Investigate the
qualification Of new members, one of
whom at the time of his election was
not property holder and had not
paid his poll tax, but who afterwards
paid his tax and was decided a piece
of property by his wife. This was
certainly all expose of bad bit of
partial legis alton, neither fair or pa
triotic.
Mr. Smith then declared if elected
he would give the people an econom-
ic administration, free from the influ-
ence of rings of any kind, while he
would use every effort for improve
ment in the interest of the city. lie
would devote more time to side walk
improvement than some matters he
believed Mr.. Connor was attending
to. He declared he had made no
pledges. "yes," he added, "excuse me
i made one yesterday. A Santa Fe
railroad man who lives far beyond the

with a proposition that he would
